Word For The Week: Lighting the Menorah

Text: Lev 24:2 Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you pure olive oil, beaten, for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.

Part of what the LORD is doing in this time is the outpouring of the seven spirits of God upon His last days army. The seven Spirits of God are pictured in the tabernacle of Moses as the Menorah in the Holy Place. The menorah is a lampstand that has seven openings where the light burns from. Isaiah reveals the dimensions of God that these seven Spirits carry.

Isa 11:2 And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah. These Spirits are heavy dimensions of God that will ensure that the last days harvest is brought into the fold. If we will fulfill God's plan for this last days, we cannot do things as usual. We have to be anointed for the supernatural.

These means that every believer ought to have the seven candles burning brightly in them so that we can walk in light- the seven fold dimension of light which must be burning continually. God instructed the Levites to ensure that these candles burn continually. There must not be a time where the lights will be dim or go out. It must always be oiled.

God is therefore, lighting the menorah upon the men as this will ensure that we walk in wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and the fear of the LORD. Every Christian is supposed to have these 7 dimensions burning brightly within them. This can also be seen in the 10 virgins who had extra oil to see the groom. If our oil is low, our light will be dim. For some people, some candles are bright while some are low. This explains why a believer can be doing well in making decisions (Spirit of wisdom), but does not have reverence for the presence of God (Spirit of the fear of the LORD).

These 7 Spirits are to be alive and burning within us. The Psalmist says: Psa 18:28 For You will light my candle; Jehovah my God will make my darkness light. We need to ensure that the 7 candles are lighted within us. Take time to study and pray in line of each of the dimensions. Press the Olives for the oil to come out to keep your lamp burning. Understand their essence and pray that the candle is lighted within you.

In the coming weeks, we will highlight the seven Spirits of God and their function in the believer.

Oranmiyan (Part 3: Origin of Yoruba)

Our journey will begin by identifying who the Yoruba people are. From the stories and relics of the children of the tribe, it is obvious that the projenitors of the tribe were deeply rooted in sorcery. Especially those who constitute the royal families. Their blood lines is soaked in idolatry, divination and sorcery. They know how to access principalities and powers and learn their worship modes. There are many stories about the origin of the Yoruba race. The Yoruba race has two major stories about their origin. One is supernatural. The other is natural The supernatural or divine one said that the supreme being, God, sent a god- Obatala to come and create the earth, but he got drunk and God had to send another god- Oduduwa. This is what some people hold. This school of thought has several loopholes chief of which is that Oduduwa entered Ile Ife in 11AD, but Ife Arts, according to carbon dating goes way back as 500BC which means that there was life in Ile Ife before Oduduwa came in.

Oranmiyan (Part 4: Lamurudu vs Oduduwa)

After being forced out of his land, Lamurudu settled in Egypt for some time where he deepened his knowledge in sorcery. He learned several patterns of rituals which still exists in some parts of Ijebu today. At that time, the Egyptians have developed so well in the worship of their gods who were originally men. The concept of gods begins with a man encountering a demonic prince who is looking for obeisance from men. These princes have the same goal as Lucifer. Once they begin to get attention from a man, the man begins to take up their (dark) nature because it is a law in the spirit realm that whatever you behold, you become. The consecration of these men to the worship of the princes led to the reproduction of the abilities and characteristics of the prince in the man, so the man becomes great among other men. Most of these men takes up the name of the prince that they worship such that when the man dies, you can keep calling his name and the prince responds to your request thereby es

Oranmiyan (Part 5: The gods of Egypt)

During the sojourn of Lamurudu in Egypt, what was going on in Egypt at that time was similar to what happened in Genesis 6:1-2 where demonic entities found a way to reproduce themselves in women to establish a race of beings that were not fully humans. These creatures were very big that they were called Giants. They had 6 fingers and toes and unusual strength. Bible refer to them as Nephilims which means mysterious beings who are large and strong. Some other meanings called them fallen ones. They had supernatural abilities and they preyed on full humans. The situation was like what was portrayed in Harry Potter that had pure bloods, half bloods, mud bloods and muggles. The pure bloods were the witches whose both parents are also witches, half blood is a witch with one parent as witch, mud blood has both parents as normal people and muggles are non witches. At that time in Genesis 6, the Nephilims had created another race on earth that paralleled the pure humans. This what why God sent
